Angry mob trap Mi’kmaw fishermen at a lobster pound in southwestern Nova Scotia
An angry mob of non-Indigenous lobster fishermen trapped two Mi’kmaw fishermen inside a lobster pound in southwestern Nova Scotia late Tuesday evening. According to Jason Marr, a Mi’kmaw lobster fisherman with the Sipekne’katik First Nation, N.S., the angry crowd also set fire to his van and threw rocks at the facility’s windows in West Pubnico while he and another fisherman, Randy Sack, were trapped inside. Marr said he fled to the lobster pound in West Pubnico Tuesday evening when he heard that a mob of non-Indigenous fishermen were heading to the wharf,,, >click to read< 09:30
This is simply not true, Jason Marr wasn’t in Pubnico, it was his sister Jolene that was there and she was not barricaded in against her will, she had the choice to leave but she didn’t want to, she chose to stay, to “protect her brother Jason’s lobsters” while he was at the other plant
And seriously, no one can get upset with the media, they are only getting one side, their side
They have no other side to report
Because they are speaking up And we aren’t because we have been threaten with murder and violence if we do.
We were told not to talk to the media, don’t post anything
But this has gone too far, our reputation as the provinces second largest export is being slandered by the media. Are there no laws anymore?
